试题分析：集邮主题各不相同。除了地点，时间以外，还有运动，天文和十二生肖等。主题集邮尤受青少年喜爱。
小题1:文章前4段介绍集邮的不同主题；第5段讲主题集邮注意事项；最后一段交代主题集邮的最大困难。因此，根据结构可以得知整篇文章大意是和主题集邮（Collecting stamps with themes）相关。
小题2:细节题：从第三段的句子：China issues zodiac animal stamps (十二生肖邮票) every year to celebrate the Lunar New Year. They are extremely popular and a lot of collectors wait patiently for 12 years to collect a full set of them.可知收集一套生肖邮票要等一年。
小题3:细节题：从第五段的句子：Otherwise, it is very difficult to collect stamps around the topic. You will be depressed and even lose your interest in collecting stamps.可知收集邮票的主题不能太狭窄，因为很难收集相关主题的邮票。
小题4:该题要考生列出文章提到的三个一般性集邮主题。全文讲到集邮主题有地点，时间，运动，天文和十二生肖等。但在2,3,4段中浓彩笔墨介绍了人们喜爱的运动，天文和十二生肖三个主题。所以答案为sport(s)； astronomy；animal(s)。
小题5:细节题：从最后一段的句子：Collecting stamps with these is especially popular among teenagers because there is a wide range of choices for them. 可知收集主题邮票最受年轻人欢迎：Teenagers
